'''William Greene''' (16 March 1695 - 22 February 1758) was a governor of the [[Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations]]. He was a clerk of the county court in [[Providence, Rhode Island|Providence]], deputy from [[Warwick, Rhode Island|Warwick]], speaker of the Rhode Island Assembly, and then deputy governor from 1740 to 1743. He became governor for the first time in 1743 and served four separate terms for a total of 11 years, and died while in office during his final term.
Der Ursprung des [[Céilí|Céilís]] liegt im Londoner Zweig der [[Gaelic League]]. Die Liga versuchte die irische nationale Identität und den Nationalstolz zu etablieren. Der Londoner Zweig der Gaelic League war äußerst aktiv und lieferte nicht unwesentliche Beiträge zur irischen Tanzkultur:
* sie erfanden den Céilí in der Form wie er jetzt üblich ist
* sie entdeckten und förderten die Kerry figure dances (Céilí dances)
* sie publizierten die ersten Sammlungen der irischen "figure dances"
* sie hielten [[St. Patrick|St. Patrick´s Day]] Konzerte ab und gründeten 1904 den London [[Feis]].

Séan O' Ceallaigh verwendete als erster den Terminus "Céilí-Tänze" als er die Beschreibungen zu einigen "Figure Dances" in einer Dubliner Wochenzeitschrift veröffentlichte. Frühere Autoren (O' Keeffe und O' Brien (1902), Sheehan (1902) verwendeten diesen Begriff nicht.

Cullinane und auch andere Autoren (de Roiste, 1927) stellen jedoch explizit fest, '''dass es sich bei den Céilí- Tänzen nicht um die traditionellen irischen Tänze handelt''' (dies sind die [[Set Dance|Set-Tänze]]), sondern zu einem Gutteil um "Kunsttänze" handelt, die von den Iren kaum getanzt und auch nicht beherrscht wurden. Roche (P. de Roiste 1927) stellte in seinem Buch "Collection of Irish Airs, Marches and Dance Tunes, Vol 3" fest:"... in recreating an Irish Ireland the work of reviving our old national dances unfortunately largely fell to those who were but poorly equipped for the task, they were lacking in insight and a due appretiation of the pure old style and had as it appears but a slender knowledge of the old repertoire". --[[Benutzer:Cuchullain|Cuchullain]] 22:32, 19.

Vorlage:Infobox Governor

William Greene (16 March 1695 - 22 February 1758) was a governor of the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations. He was a clerk of the county court in Providence, deputy from Warwick, speaker of the Rhode Island Assembly, and then deputy governor from 1740 to 1743. He became governor for the first time in 1743 and served four separate terms for a total of 11 years, and died while in office during his final term.

Ancestry

William Greene was the son of Samuel and Mary (Gorton) Greene, and grandson of John Greene of Warwick, who had spent most of his long life as a public servant, including 10 years as the Deputy Governor of the colony.[1] His great grandfather, also named John Greene, had come from Salisbury, Wiltshire, England, was a surgeon, and an early settler of Warwick in the colony of Rhode Island.[2] His great grandfather on his mother's side was Samuel Gorton, the founder of Warwick, and for a very short period the governor of the two towns of Providence and Warwick.[3]

Career

The use of paper money was a contentious issue during Greene's administrations. This bill was used after the Revolution.

Greene was made a freeman of the colony in 1718, and at the age of 32 was elected a deputy from Warwick in 1727, which office he held for five years.[4] He was the clerk of the county court in Providence and speaker of the Rhode Island Assembly in 1734 and 1739.[5] In 1728 he was appointed, along with John Mumford of Newport, to survey the boundary line between the Rhode Island and Connecticut colonies.[6] When Governor John Wanton died in 1740, Richard Ward became the governor, and Greene became the new Deputy Governor, which office he held until his own election to governor in May 1743.[7] This was one of the rare cases when a Rhode Island governor did not come from the island of Aquidneck where the towns of Newport and Portsmouth are located.[8]

One of the important issues of Greene's first term in office concerned the boundary lines of the colony. Several geograhic boundaries were adjusted, and the towns of Barrington, Warren and Bristol were added under Bristol county, and the towns of Tiverton and Little Compton were added to the towns on Aquidneck island in Newport County. Another major issue facing the colony was the war against France and Spain, for which the colony was expected to share in the defense of the Crown.[8] When England declared war against France on 31 March 1744, the colony manned forts and reinforced them with guns and ammunition.[9] Commodore Warren, with the aid of Rhode Island forces, laid siege to Louisbourg in Nova Scotia, which surrendered in June, surprising Europeans that the "strongest fortress of North America had capitulated to American farmers, machanics [sic], and fishermen."[9] The colony also had a few war sloops at its disposal along with 15 privateers and was successful in capturing 20 ships and sending them to Newport.[9]

During Greene's third term, the colony had divided into two hostile camps.[10] The leaders of the two divisions were both future governors, Samuel Ward and Stephen Hopkins, with Greene siding with the Ward camp. Some of the divisive issues concerned war versus peace, paper money versus hard currency, and Providence versus Newport interests. Elections went back and forth between the two opposing sides, and amid the discord, Greene died while in office in February 1758.[10]

Family

William Greene married his second cousin, Catharine Greene, the daughter of Benjamin and Susanna (Holden) Greene, a granddaughter of Randall Holden, and a great granddaughter of the first John Greene.[11] The couple had six children, five of whom survived to adulthood.[12] Their son, William Greene, Jr. became the second governor after Rhode Island became a state.
